Here's Exactly How We Clear Your Drains

First, we assess the situation. Our plumber inspects your drain, identifies the type and location of the clog, and explains what needs to happen to fix it completely.

Next, we use the right tool for your specific problem. Sometimes it’s professional drain snaking for hair and soap buildup. Other times we bring out the hydro jetting equipment for grease clogs or tree roots that have invaded your main line.

Finally, we test everything to make sure water flows properly and clean up our work area. You get a 7-day warranty on all drain cleaning, so if the same clog comes back, we return at no charge to make it right.

Hydro Jetting Services Framingham

What's Included in Our Service

Every drain cleaning service includes a thorough assessment of your specific problem, professional-grade equipment to clear the blockage completely, and a detailed explanation of what caused the issue in the first place.

Framingham’s older homes often deal with cast iron pipes that collect grease and debris over decades. Our hydro jetting service scours these pipes clean, removing buildup that regular snaking can’t touch. This is especially important for homes built before 1980 in areas like Nobscot and Saxonville.

New customers get a free main sewer line camera inspection so you can see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. This helps prevent future emergencies and gives you peace of mind about the condition of your plumbing system.

How much does drain cleaning cost in Framingham, MA?

Most drain cleaning jobs in Framingham cost between $150-$400, depending on the severity and location of the clog. Simple sink or shower clogs typically run $150-$250, while main sewer line blockages can cost $300-$400.

We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when the job is done. If the price changes for any reason, we discuss it with you first and get your approval before continuing.

Emergency service calls don’t cost extra during normal business hours. We believe you shouldn’t be penalized for having a plumbing emergency, especially when you’re already dealing with the stress of drains that won’t work.

Most drain clogs take 30 minutes to 2 hours to clear completely. Simple blockages near the drain opening usually take about 30-45 minutes. Deeper clogs or main line blockages can take 1-2 hours, especially if we need to use hydro jetting equipment.

The time depends on what’s causing the clog and how long it’s been building up. Hair and soap clogs clear quickly with professional snaking. Grease buildup or tree root intrusions take longer because we need to thoroughly clean the pipe walls to prevent the problem from returning.

We’ll give you an estimated timeframe after our initial assessment. Most customers are surprised how quickly we can get their drains flowing normally again, even with stubborn clogs that have been building for months.

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency drain cleaning throughout Framingham and the surrounding MetroWest area. When your main sewer line backs up or you have multiple drains overflowing, you can’t wait until Monday morning for help.

Our emergency response team typically arrives within 1-2 hours of your call, even on weekends and holidays. We keep fully stocked trucks ready to handle any type of drain emergency, from simple toilet clogs to complex sewer line blockages.

Emergency calls don’t carry extra fees during normal business hours. After-hours and weekend calls have a small emergency service charge, but we’ll tell you the exact cost when you call so there are no surprises when we finish the job.

The most common causes in Framingham are hair and soap buildup in bathroom drains, grease and food particles in kitchen sinks, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines. Older homes often have cast iron pipes that corrode over time, creating rough surfaces that catch debris.

Many Framingham homes were built between 1950-1980 and have original plumbing that’s more prone to clogs. The mature trees throughout the area also contribute to root problems, especially in the Nobscot Hill and Saxonville neighborhoods where large oaks and maples are common.

Seasonal issues include increased hair shedding in fall and winter, holiday cooking grease during November and December, and spring thaw problems when tree roots become more active. Regular maintenance can prevent most of these issues from becoming major emergencies.

The best prevention is avoiding what goes down your drains in the first place. Never pour cooking grease down kitchen sinks – let it cool and scrape it into the trash instead. Use drain screens in bathroom showers to catch hair before it reaches your pipes.

Run hot water for 30 seconds after using your kitchen sink to help flush away small amounts of grease and soap. Once a month, pour a pot of boiling water down each drain to dissolve buildup before it becomes a problem.

For Framingham homes with older plumbing, we recommend professional drain cleaning every 12-18 months. This removes buildup before it causes blockages and lets us spot potential problems early. Many of our customers find this prevents emergency calls and saves money in the long run.

Absolutely. Every drain cleaning service comes with a 7-day warranty – if the same clog returns within a week, we come back at no charge to fix it properly. We also provide a 1-year labor warranty on all plumbing work we perform.

This warranty covers the specific drain we cleaned and the same type of blockage. If tree roots grow back or grease builds up again in the same spot within 7 days, that’s on us to fix. We stand behind our work because we want you to be completely satisfied.

The warranty doesn’t cover new clogs in different locations or different types of blockages, but it does ensure the problem we fixed stays fixed. Most customers never need to use the warranty because we clear clogs completely the first time, but it’s there for your peace of mind.
